Editing Valliant, Oklahoma (section)

==Economy==
The economic base of the town has been agriculture. Early-day crops were cotton and grains. Cotton began to decline after 1930, so the land was shifted into pasture and forage for feeding cattle. Forest products became important in the 1970s, when Weyerhaeuser Co., a paper products company opened a paperboard plant and a paper mill, making it the largest employer in town.<ref name="EOHC-Valliant"/>{{efn|Weyerhaeuser then had 350 production workers and 150 support workers before the company announcing that it would close one of its three paper machines indefinitely. It also sold its container board packaging and recycling business to [[International Paper]]. That included the Valiant mill.<ref name= "Blossom">[https://newsok.com/article/3298900/why-valliant-paper-mill-plant-to-shut-unit-impacting-60-jobs Blossom, Debbie.
